Cold Dragon?

nickoleye Sep 23, 2003 08:20 PM

The last two days when I've arrived home Chubbs is over in the dark corner of her cage laying down. Her appetite apears to still be good, however, when I pick her up she is very cold after being away from her light for so long. She's a little over a year old now and hasn't done this before. Anyone have any advice?

i would get a fecal done, make sure there is no parasites...if the fecal is negative, then it may be brumation. (type of herp hibernation) does it have a cave? try to get one, and see if it will go in and sleep, it sounds like brumation, but get a fecal done just in case.
